KNOPS’ LETTER TO P.M. JACOBS: Distance Yourself From Grisha, Rolando And The Gang…

Jacobs responded immediately, but because her answer can be interpreted in various ways, it is still unclear whether Knops is sufficiently reassured. Parliament has ignored his deadline.

Moody’s downgrades Sint Maarten to Ba2, changes outlook to negative, Policy differences with the Netherlands, the sole source of financing for St Maarten Main Reason

The key drivers behind the rating action were:

• Policy differences with the Netherlands, the sole source of financing for Sint Maarten

• Untested access to alternative sources of financing, which exacerbates the credit impact of the large increase in Sint Maarten’s debt burden

The negative outlook reflects the risk that political differences with the Netherlands may lead to a repeat of the funding problems Sint Maarten faced at the end of last year.

The local currency ceiling is lowered to Baa2 from A3 and the foreign currency ceiling is lowered to Baa3 from Baa1. The three notch gap between the local currency ceiling and the sovereign rating reflects the limited role of the government in the economy. The one notch difference between the foreign and local current ceilings reflects the limited scope to impose transfer and convertibility controls within Sint Marteen’s existing monetary union.

Fixing the Caribbean’s solid waste problem SXM

A landfill, or garbage dump, is among the oldest and most common forms of waste disposal. In many islands across the Caribbean, landfills are simply overfilled. St. Maarten is an example of a landfill that is past capacity: it’s not a hole, but a mountain. Due to overflow from the 2017 hurricane debris, the problem has gotten so bad that residents near the landfill have had to move due to frequent fires. The country received a $25 million grant to help improve debris management, but the problem is yet to be solved as the government continues its search for a lasting solution, losing valuable tourism dollars

Disability Was Cut To $360 PER Month, Knops Cut Further Aid To SXM To Punish The Lower Class Because Of What Millionaires Theo & Grisha And Their Billionaire Friends Did!

they cut disability to $360 per month. We are expected to survive on that, and we are not allowed any supplemental income. The Red Cross contacted me to cut my food card which is $160.00 per month. Mind you, we pay up to twice as much for food than you do in Europe and the United States. I believe that is politically motivated because I was the first person to criticize the petition and the people who wrote it. S
